kbuild: rust: force alloc extern to allow "empty" Rust files

If one attempts to build an essentially empty file somewhere in the
kernel tree, it leads to a build error because the compiler does not
recognize the `new_uninit` unstable feature:

    error[E0635]: unknown feature `new_uninit`
     --> <crate attribute>:1:9
      |
    1 | feature(new_uninit)
      |         ^^^^^^^^^^

The reason is that we pass `-Zcrate-attr='feature(new_uninit)'` (together
with `-Zallow-features=new_uninit`) to let non-`rust/` code use that
unstable feature.

However, the compiler only recognizes the feature if the `alloc` crate
is resolved (the feature is an `alloc` one). `--extern alloc`, which we
pass, is not enough to resolve the crate.

Introducing a reference like `use alloc;` or `extern crate alloc;`
solves the issue, thus this is not seen in normal files. For instance,
`use`ing the `kernel` prelude introduces such a reference, since `alloc`
is used inside.

While normal use of the build system is not impacted by this, it can still
be fairly confusing for kernel developers [1], thus use the unstable
`force` option of `--extern` [2] (added in Rust 1.71 [3]) to force the
compiler to resolve `alloc`.

This new unstable feature is only needed meanwhile we use the other
unstable feature, since then we will not need `-Zcrate-attr`.
